Greetings, devoted readers - at long last we come up for air. *Gasp* I apologize for the delay; hopefully I can get something in more frequently than once every seven months.
Meanwhile, enjoy this video from a wonderful band whom I cannot understand: "Glósóli" by Sigur Rós. I don't know why, this still seems fresh to me, after watching it umpteen times.
Which raises the question: what's umpteen plus one?
One word recurs to me when thinking about Sigur Rós: generosity. Another word underlies this: love. That seems to be the driving force behind their music from where I stand, what with the wealth of free downloads and the bafflingly protean sound . (Adjectives like "beautiful" and "ethereal" don't do the music justice. They're overused anyway.) And things like generosity, love - all right, and beauty too - are badly needed today. Bring them out, however you can.
